See the many other links I've posted to Norton, Wolff, etc.
Especially the Garland Nixon interview with Jodi Brar
In summary. US sanctions have totally failed to isolate Russia. Rather they have spurred the BRICS to counter the Hegemony of the American Oligarchy.
The Oligarchy is well defined by Aaron Good's series of youTubes and his outstanding videos on "The Devil's Chessboard". Basically, they came to America to seek their fortunes centuries ago.
They have worked very hard to maintain their positions of privilege through legislation and taxes that serve them and not the "Average American" (which Marxists would label the "proletariat").
They are very loosely organized much like the mafia. They fight one another but mostly behind the scenes unrecognized by the "average American".
Tucker Carlson is a member of that privileged elite. He sees the coming economic decline of the American Empire and is working on establishment of a group of "Average Americans" who will follow his pied piper whistle allowing the subset of the Oligarchy he belongs to to remain in control of the American Economy and thus allow those who provide him with resources to "carry on" to maintain their positions of privilege in the coming reorganization of the economy.
In 2008 Lehman Brothers was sacrificed. In the coming economic turmoil it will be even more members of the Oligarchy.
But for the "Average American" it will just be a repeat of the dot-com bubble, the mortgage crisis, the covid recession and the upcoming Ukraine war recession. The question to ask is which false prophet will Americans follow?
It appears that Carlson is backing Trump at the moment -- or he's backing some other unknown. His interview with Putin and his trip to the Russian grocery store makes him look like someone Americans should listen to. But do recall what he was selling 3 years ago.
He put forward some information that you and I agree with and which we hope others will gain insight from.
But he comes from the Oligarchy. He is not on "our side". He (and his financiers) may make temporary alliances with us, but we need to be aware that his motives are going to be quite different from ours. His group wants to maintain their position of privilege. Much like Obama appeared to be on our side and then betrayed us with Obamacare rather than universal health care. I'm just urging extreme caution.
Apparently he's recently been kicked out of that "Oligarchy".
I am not saying I don't totally disagree with you. But I am going to listen to what he has to say - more than before. Now that Fox News did kick him out.
Good for him interviewing Putin. That really stirred up the hornet's nest among the psychopathic Elites didn't it? That they were so pissed at him makes me want to keep watching - see what he does next.
Maybe he'll piss them off even more! Isn't that the job of a good journalist?
I hope this was irony? Brilliant guy Simplicius.
Just to be clear, Tucker Carlson is NOT on your side no matter how much you agree with what he is reporting.
I mentioned NOTHING about Tucker Carlson!
But I did.
?

Tucker Carlson is not on our side.
He interviewed Putin and has been called a traitor for it.
The interview was a huge plus for me. Got my attention.
Journalists like him are on our side. Even though I disagree with some of his right-wingnut views.
He put forward some information that you and I agree with and which we hope others will gain insight from.

Yes, I love Aaron Good's "US Empire & the Deep State" series on Geopolitical Economy Report with Ben Norton (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDAi0NdlN8hNArLl765PXe8tsTKmOciGL)
Definitely worth the watch!
And BTW, thank you for articulating your comment so well!
I didn't care for the Fox News Carlson.
Of course not.
But Carlson was fired from Fox months ago, so what ab out the "new Tucker"?
His interview with Putin, as Ritter writes here, is a MUST SEE:

Carlson is the leopard changing his spots. If you haven't seen the myriad comments from supposed progressives praising Carlson, where have you been?
I'm not telling you to "like" Carlson. I'm asking you to look at the reasons he is becoming so popular. He's had 18M views on youTube alone.
Carlson has his own network now:

IOW, many are listening to Tucker. If you want to debate them, you'll need to know what was said.
